Drivers side upper motor mount mod?

[91 Turbo Mitsu]

Okay I know this may seem ridiculous but I know the 2gs have a very compact upper motor mount(DS) and the 1Gs have the mount that wraps around to the power steering bracket. I saw on another site where someone had done a 2.0 swap in I think a Hyundai and they took the 1G mount and just wacked the end off so it looked like a 2G mount. Anyone see a problem in doing this to a 1G. It works for the 2G but I do understand that they have different positions as far as all the motor mounts. My only reason for doing this is to clean up the area a little bit. I think my only concern is durability of not having it as like a torque arm for the mount but I do have prothanes installed. Sorry for the long post and I hope evryone understands what I mean.Thanks

Thanks for the quick shout back. I figured it would be okay seeing as how the 2G s are this way. After you cut yours did you do anything to strengthen the end you cut ie welded in a plate? Thanks again

nope cut and painted so it didn't rust.
